NETL researchers will exhibit and take part in technical sessions at the 2022 Liquid Metal Processing and Casting Conference (LMPC), held Sept. 18-21, 2022, at the Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia. The conference convenes academic and industry experts to discuss the latest advances in processes used to cast large ingots of highly alloyed metals.

Barbara Kutchko, a senior researcher at NETL who develops advanced cement systems to reduce the environmental footprint of drilling operations, will serve as a key organizer and presenter at Cementing in an Unconventional World, a workshop presented by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Sept. 27-29, 2022, in Galveston, Texas.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) announced almost $4.7 million in funding for six projects to advance the development of ceramic-based materials to improve the efficiency of hydrogen-fueled turbines that may one day be used in clean power plants.

NETL Director Brian Anderson will join other Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory directors to discuss the future direction of their laboratories’ energy research as part of a Business Forum during the 2022 Global Clean Energy Action Forum (GCEAF) September 21-23 in Pittsburgh’s David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

NETL experts have hit the road to develop best practices to find and characterize undocumented orphaned oil and gas wells, which can leak methane, a potent greenhouse gas, contaminate groundwater and create other environmental issues after they are abandoned or taken out of production.

A groundbreaking class of hybrid solvents developed by NETL researchers to capture greenhouse gas from fuel streams and generate clean hydrogen from fossil energy resources could also bolster supply chains of key raw materials needed to address a crisis that is currently facing America’s farmers.

Materials Advances, an international research publication dedicated to materials science breakthroughs, reported that a paper authored by three NETL researchers was one of the most popular articles published in its journal over the past year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Aug. 31, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy announced $46 million for 22 projects that will create biofuel energy and bioproducts to help decarbonize the transportation and power generation sectors.
